Channel your inner Mary Quant with a 1960s London-inspired purse. This tapestry crochet purse draws on Carnaby Street’s finest fashions, with a touch of wool hinting at classic British textiles. Worked in two colors throughout, the pattern follows a straightforward repeat to create a diagonal plaid, with just a hint of shaping. Use a metal purse frame with a clasp for an extra touch of vintage chic.

A sweet project that’s perfect for girls’ adventures together this spring. A handful of crocheted flowers flow around the side and each end, taking a hint from starflowers, daisies and relaxed coastal style. The headband set is easy to make, with the chance to test out a couple of skills. Each flower is worked to a simple design in the round, and added to the headband created entirely in single crochet with easy shaping for scarf-like peaks at each end.
